In her April 8 letter, Linda Moore claims I said our country is no match for Vladimir Putin. She said, “Isn’t that putting down our military?” That statement is one of several misrepresentations she makes, such as: “Mr. Rotondo seems to like Mr. Putin,” or “Obama is doing the best he can with the Congress he has,” or blaming George W. Bush for President Obama’s failing economy.

I am a veteran of the Korean War, and I certainly would not put down the military. My actual quote was, “the Obama administration is proving to be no match for Vladimir Putin.”

In regard to his difficulty with the Congress, Obama appears to have resolved that issue by issuing executive orders repeatedly.

Moore avoids the real cause of our stagnant economy by forgetting to mention that is was the Democratic Congress during the Bush administration, led by people such as Sens. Chris Dodd and Charles Schumer, which despite Bush’s warnings, continued to feed the housing bubble until it burst.

Since there is little or nothing that Obama supporters can claim as success, their typical response to criticism is to either misrepresent the facts or blame others for the past five years of the Obama administration’s ineptitude.

I would also remind Moore that Obama has achieved the dubious “PolitiFact” distinction of telling the “The lie of the year” — “You can keep your doctor” — and this will remain as part of his legacy.

Moore advised me to “do some homework.” My advice to her is that she should not try to color the facts. Maybe she should try listening to Fox News. Finally, I really don’t like Mr. Putin.
